Comments from our users:

I like it! I really like the 3D experience. I really like the 3D experience. The word relations are accurate and I like the fact that you can search even further on the web.

I like the fact that you can pull up VisualThesaurus from within Word. However, I think the next step should be the capability to select a word from Visual Thesaurus and insert that word directly into your Word document at whatever location you click on (perhaps this can be built into the right-click menus on both VT and Word) -- this would certainly beat retyping everything. I think it would make VT a more integrated tool with Word -- and it would put it over the top verses the on-line or browser versions. (perhaps that capability can be put there as well?? Maybe just a cut and paste??)

Also, would like to have ability to adjust out print size and format. Most time we won't be printing these things out so perhaps just a little more flexibility for smaller print size and a more direct way to handle portrait versus landscape mode.

VT is a great idea! I definitely will use the thesaurus more often because of it.

Simply a program to stimulate thinking that is sorely needed in the world today. In most of the Western world, we use advesarial thinking--which is "I'm Right and You're Wrong." Words excite, tempt, generate ideas, play with your mind, fascinate and on and on . Use this program with mind and concept maps(yes, even concept maps). Alas, at age 72, I still want to keep that three pounds of grey matter working each day.

VT is awesome! I really enjoy this new technology and I can't wait to use it. For me english is second language..i can truly appreaciate this amazing tools. This is wonderful! I hope my writing skills will get better.

I love Visual Thesaurus! Considering English is not my mother tongue and I have a philology degree, I have enormous interest in linguistic tools. This is by far the cleverest one I have seen! I wish only that you had the Visual Thesaurus from Microsoft Word on Vista...

Using the word you have looked up VT and then using it MS Word (I hope I can explain this)
If you have word opened and you look up a word in VT try left clicking the word in VT and then drag it into the task bar where MS word is MS word will open and then still holding down the left mouse button put it where you want it and release the button. Hey presto the word you have looked up is now in MS Word.

I have purchased Visual Thesaurus, however it's not in my WORD program. Somehow, it's in my CHROME icon. I don't want it there. I already tried the directions on line and it doesn't work.
How do I get it out of Chrome and into the WORD program?
